Non rev benfits are a total ripoff-especially for connection carriers.
Ahh, it hasn't been that bad for me. Of course I avoid ATL- the place where nonrevs go to die. Also I don't try to take a family of 7 to Paris over the summer. But being flexible I've gone all over the world with my kids. Heck, one time trying to get home from CVG couldn't get on a flight. Looked at what was available... what the heck? CDG was wide open, business class. Went to Paris, bummed around for a day. Flew home, business class again. "Seriously honey, the only way I could get home was to go to Paris."
